'Now I see!' But not the parting Of the melting earth and sky, Not a vision dread and startling, Forcing one despairing cry. But I see the solemn saying, All have sinned, and all must die; Holy precepts disobeying, Guilty all the world must lie. Bending, silenced, to the dust, Now I see that God is just. 'Now I see!' But not the glory, Not the face of Him I love, Not the full and burning story Of the mysteries above. But I see what God hath spoken, How His well-belovèd Son Kept the laws which man hath broken, Died for sins which man hath done; Dying, rising, throned above! 'Now I see' that God is Love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COLUMBUS AND THE MAYFLOWER by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES RIFLEMAN FORM! by ALFRED TENNYSON NIGHT BLOSSOMING by JANICE BLANCHARD THE JAZZ BABY by BERTON BRALEY DIANA by JULIEN AUGUSTE PELAGE BRIZEUX ON A DREAM by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) AURORA LEIGH: BOOK 6 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
